Affected and “victim of” are different. Higher population densities mean more people are affected by a murder (more witnesses, more people disrupted by the crime scene, more people that go ‘I go to that train stop every day, that could have been me’).

Rational or not, proximity of crime freaks some people out much more than probability of being the victim.

As someone who regularly makes cold brew during hot summers, the tale is that the acidity is lower — or at least of a different kind.

Hot brewed coffee starts to taste bad after a few hours if you let it go cold, cold brewed coffee tastes differently from the start, but won't develop that bad flavour even after a week in the fridge.

The key for a good cold brew is however that the bean/roast is of very good quality. And it is quite simple to make. The way I do it:

1. Grind coffee coarsly and put it in a glas jar that can be closed. The amount of coffee can be adjusted quite freely, but I'd go with one fourth/fifth of the volume of the jar. More bean = more concentrated coffee.

2. Add cold water and stir

3. Put in the fridge and stir at least once in the morning, once in the evening.

4. After ca. 24 hours you can run the whole thing through a coffee filter to extract the coffee. It is also possible to reuse the coffee-sludge once if you add some fresh beans.

That is not too complicated and worth a try. Please avoid pre-grind cheap coffee for this, It will taste like bullshit.

While I really like the idea of enabling 3d printers to do more/better through software.

I'll admit that lower complexity might be better.

When prototyping maybe it's better to tweak parts a bit for better 3d printing. And rely on simpler slicing tech.

More software might not make it more reliable, which is probably a bigger problem.

Current limits are annoying, but my 3d printer can still do a LOT I couldn't do before.

Thank you. Finally someone acknowledge it's the people around musk and not musk himself doing the whole work. I really don't understand when people start to talk about musk, how bad he is and what a jerk he is. But in the end, there are qualified people who can argue on some points and also do some decisions - even if it's only the showing of alternative possibilities for musk to decide. People don't like musk, so they don't like his companies. But the companies aren't musk alone. You and I see the differences :)
I am not saying what they did was right, nor that is was wise. It was wrong and it was dumb, and they gambled a company in theory worth $ 40 B, at least according to some geniuses at VC funds, and his reputation and freedom.

But the goal was not to steal money; had the goal been to steal money, they would have been successful in doing so. The goal was to gamble it with their hedge fund and use the profits for causes they deemed right.

Again, this does not make his mistakes lighter.

Lastly, people who deposited their hard earned money in an account owned by Alameda Research, SBF’s hedge fund, in order to have it available on FTX (yes, this was the standard procedure) are imho also partly to blame for the mess.

There are a bunch of simple GUI builders, including GUI builders for the web, but none of them are popular, due to the sweet spot of supply and demand that Hypercard hit.

When Hypercard launched, it came with every Mac, it was free, and there was nothing else like it available on the Mac. On the Mac, the alternative to Hypercard was to layout UI widgets in code, with no GUI builder at all, or eventually to pay $$$ for a professional-grade IDE like CodeWarrior. As an entry-level user with no budget, if you wanted a GUI builder for the Mac, you got Hypercard, or nothing. This created a community of Hypercard enthusiasts.

Furthermore, when Hypercard launched, Macs had a standard screen resolution. Every Mac sold had a screen resolution of 512x342 pixels, so you could know for sure how your cards would look on any Mac. Supporting resizable GUIs is one of the hardest things to do in any GUI builder. (How should the buttons layout when the screen gets very small, like a phone? Or very wide, like a 16:9 monitor?) Today, Xcode uses a sophisticated constraint solver / theorem prover to allow developers to build resizable UIs in a GUI; it works pretty well, I think, but it's never going to be as easy to learn as "drag the button onto the screen and it's going to look exactly like that everywhere."

The last issue is the real killer for modern Hypercard wannabes: it's a small step from a web GUI builder to raw HTML/CSS. You don't have to pay big bucks to have access to professional-grade HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Sure, they're not that easy to learn, but you can teach a kid to write interactive web pages, no problem.

As a result, the demand for a simple GUI builder is lower than it was for Hypercard, and even when you do capture a user, they tend to outgrow your product, and there are a zillion competitors, so none of them can build a community with real traction.

In addition to the existing dictionary compression algorithms, it is very important to know the characteristics of string contents. The proposed encoding has a very crude mechanism to describe them, but that's all (and that encoding flag is included to every string encoded, even though the schema could have included that information instead). Namespaces would start with only a small number of fixed prefixes like `java.`, `com.` and `org.`. Namespaces, paths and file names will have a lot of overlapping substrings as well. Class and field names are more chaotic, but some heuristics can be easily extracted as most of them will obey the common naming convention.

By the way, the specification is highly confusing to interpret to say the least as well. For example, is the "ref(erence) meta" a separate section in the serialization format or not? The corresponding section never mentions which bytes are to be written, and reference flags apparently describe the state of each object, so it can't be in that section anyway. Providing at least a single worked example would have significantly reduced confusion.

(Due to the inability to fully comprehend the specification, I can't give a general criticism and/or advice for now. But it does seem to miss several lessons from existing serialization formats. For instance, a varint encoding based on a contiuation bit is actually the worst encoding for given distribution, even though it is too common! Consider an alternative like `1^n 0 bit^(7n+7)` which can determine the contiuation length from the first byte instead.)

> At 9, I didn’t need to go to a library—we just had bunch of books at home. Books are cheap, especially second hand. Some of our books were in fact from a library (my mom went, but I never did), so those would rotate.

My grandparents had a full-ass room just for books. I can't even fit my modest blu-ray collection in my apartment, they sit in storage along with my DVDs and physical books.

Need help finding a link explaining how geocities died
I can't find the link anymore . it was a reddit comment that linked some forum post which explained how geocities died from google reducing traffic after an update.
I've become an avid reader of web novels when I found out about them as a teenager sometime before 2010.
Idk, for me it completely removed the urge to get physical books. I've got a Kindle too at some point, but I felt the form factor was terrible for reading fiction. There is a reason why newspapers always put their publications into columns, because it makes for an extremely fast reading experience - which is great for fiction.

Another factor is that web fictions are targeted at people that just want to read for a short moment, so you're basically only gonna read for 5-10 minutes before the chapter is over and you're done until the next publication.

IMHO the biggest danger to the medium (written fiction) are LLMs. Since they've become well known, the amount of content has skyrocketed and most of it is without any point. No coherent story that develops with characters growing over the months/years you're following them.

> given Elon's continuing shenanigans at Twitter that moment is probably still ongoing, and the competition is still wide open

What shenanigans?

When he fired a whole load of staff there were cries of Twitter’s demise. The opposite has happened: many new features added (more than the previous 10+ years?) and site stability is solid. So how is the competition “wide open”. I use Mastodon (since 2017) but I’m not kidding myself about the small fringe userbase (I like it this way BTW).

And Dorsey has just binned bsky and championed Twitter.

I wouldn’t expect it to be 15 minutes from each class each night - more like a weekly assignment from each class that means each night you do 1 hour of one class, half an hour each of two others, rotating.

For many classes though, 15 minutes/night would be very useful. Language learning, for instance, or music practice. Most kids would benefit from 15 minutes of writing prose for any reason, and I think even high school math topics could provide 15 minutes of worthwhile practice questions each evening. All of these are things that you get better at with repeated practice.

But I read lots more books books than I ever did when I was young.

I also listen to audiobooks. When I was young they were at first unavailable. Then they were expensive and cumbersome to change tapes.

Then it was change a stack of CDs, then they were large downloads, and now it is relatively frictionless. You can even get through a book by ping-ponging between the book and the audiobook if you want.
You jest, but if someone makes a decent enough full-spectrum daylight simulator, and then get a stamp of approval from FDA (or whichever the authority is relevant here), they stand to make a lot of money by enabling residential use of windowless spaces.

Why American automakers are failing in China [video]
Chalmers has given arguments for panpsychism so I dont think hes totally opposed to the idea.

And Im not so sure materialism necessitates reduction of consciousness. It entirely depends on what one considers to be "material". I would hold for example, that if consciousness were a fundamental property of all matter, it would fit any functional meaning of the term "material" as it relates to scientific inquiry.

By "materialism" what we really seem to mean here is "a conservatory position on what constitutes material". If one accepts consciousness as a property of matter, then it becomes a materialist view, no?
Why pointing out Calculus as opposed to just Math?

Might be just my Eastern Europe background where it was all just "Math" and both equations (that's Algebra I guess) and simpler functions/analysis (Calculus?) are taught in elementary school around age 14 or 15.

Maybe I'm missing/forgetting something - I think I used Calculus more during electrical engineering than for computer/software engineering.
The 3D printer community is oddly resistant to step files. They claim that step files get converted to STL and therefore it doesn't matter. Except there is an obvious problem with this argument. First of all a mesh isn't an STL file, second the printer can adapt its mesh generation based on your slicer settings so that it always has a high enough resolution. Third, the mesh generator can adaptively generate high resolution meshes in complex geometries and low resolution meshes at simple geometries in the same part.
Fourth importing step files generates G code with arcs which speeds up printing time.

Do you mind sharing more details for those who weren’t paying attention? I’m still on 10 years old generations with my home PCs and my laptop. And don’t feel the urge to upgrade anything yet. Hence, I’m not following the trends.

The only thing I’m considering is the upgrade of my iPad Pro and probably MacBook at some point (not sure if I need it at all). My home computer is doing just fine with 4th generation Intel CPU and I don’t see any need for upgrade in upcoming years, if not a decade.

> However, primitive types are unable to encapsulate behaviour. Because there is no way to place behaviour inside a primitive type — it is forced to exist outside:

And you end up with code reuse. I can write algorithms that accept/return String/ints, just like you can. We can even use each other's. But if MyString "encapsulates" the behaviour of Boyer-Moore search, and YourString encapsulates the behaviour of split-on-whitespace, we can no longer share algorithms.

> The lack of encapsulation prevents us from establishing a single source of truth.

The single source of truth would be a library import defining Boyer-Moore over Strings, which you and I both import. But if I implement my own BoyerMooreString (and you do too), we're both really just lying to ourselves about having the single source of truth.

> Instead of encapsulating rules and constraints within a specific type representing the concept, they are scattered throughout the codebase whenever the concept is required.

Calls to the single true implementation (as opposed to the implementations themselves) are scattered throughout the codebase whenever required. That's a system of code reuse.

And then, what?

Unless you have a backup plan which allows you to live for free somewhere, you can't get out of paying someone for it. Whether rent or a mortgage.

For housing, it is most useful to plan long term and consider you have a lifetime of housing payments coming up. How can you minimize that lifetime total?
This is normal. They are called decoupling capacitors and are there to provide energy if the SSD requires short bursts of it. If you put them any further away the bit of wire between them and the gate turns into an inductor and has some somewhat undesirable characteristics.

I guess it depends on how you measure "power". By "influence and control lives" metrics, Bezos is more powerful than most medieval kings. Back then, a population of 1-2 millions is quite good for a country with the top ones being around 10-20 millions.

Amazon alone directly employs and provide the livelihood for 1.5millions people. That is comparable to a quite a great king in the Middle Age. Amazon also can influence trade and businesses of countless other merchants and groups in other countries unrelated to these 1.5millions employees by means of blocking access to AWS or removing their products from Amazon. Its reach is global, a feat not many kings and emperors of the past could boast.
Virtualization and Docket are orthogonal technologies. The reason you use docker, especially in dev, is to have the exact same system libraries, dependencies, and settings on each build. The reason you use virtualization is to access hardware and kernel features that are not present on your hardware or native OS.

If you deploy on docker (or Kubernetes) on Linux in production, then ideally you should be using docker on your local system as well. Which, for Windows or MacOS users, requires a Linux VM as well.

I think ADHD is linked to caffeine insensitivity. I experimented with caffeine at uni, but never noticed any effect. I would drink a 33 cl coke, containing some 30 mg caffeine.

Some 10 years ago I tried caffeine tablets in the mornings. They might have been 100 mg. I would take a tablet 30 min before work. That time, it would take the edge off my morning sleepiness which I’ve suffered from my whole life. But instead I would crash completely at 3-4 in the afternoon, so it didn’t feel worth doing.

This whole thread - and that whole chunk of TFA - is totally alien to me.

When I was 9, our school had a small library with a librarian (or at least an on-duty teacher), and if you wanted to read something you could always go and ask her what she thought you'd enjoy - and that was on the off chance you couldn't find something that looked appealing.

There are also public libraries where you could do the same thing with your parents in tow.
